Abstract - The goal of this project is to create overabundance energy by utilizing the gravity energy with the assistance of the gravity
wheel, which helps to deliver excess abundance energy. This framework helps to generate with the assistance of input power supply
as it doubles the energy used to run. The input source drives the system to run the gravity wheel. The gravity wheel uses the input
and acquires the additional power by the revolution of gravity wheel with gravitational power. It causes the framework to gain more
yield than the given power.

Keywords – energy, gravity wheel, framework, gravitational power.

I. INTRODUCTION III. METHODOLOGY

Now- a day's interest in vitality persistently increments
with the quick development of industrialization and
urbanization. It causes contamination and an Earth-wide Concept
temperature boost while fulfilling the interest of vitality. For
that, we are presenting the creative strategy for producing
power by the gravity of the earth, which is available at any
place on the earth. Gravity is one such source which can fill Literature study
our need. Gravitational power is the power that draws in any
particle with mass. The essential target is to give a gravity
power by using the system change over gravity potential
vitality into active vitality. This movement is changed over theoretical model
into roundabout movement and is then changed over into
power derived from the generator with the addition of input
vital from the motor. The energy from the gravity wheel and
motor combined output are enhanced than the input. Actual model for practical

VII. CONCLUSION

The gravity power instrument we designed utilizes the

power from motor through v-belt drive for minimum
rotational energy as required due to gravity pull can stop the
spinning so it’s essential to give continuous energy for
keeping the gravity wheel in a continuous motion. The
gravity wheel gain energy using the energy recovery method.
The weight attached on wheel dragged down when it reaches
high altitude than other weight which makes gravity wheel to
gain force acted on it that creates excess torque. The power is
calculated by the product of voltage times current in electrical
term and when comes to mechanical power it uses torque and
speed of equipment to define power. Where the framework
delivers the enhanced output by combining electrical input of
motor and mechanical energy recovered from gravitational
pull, with this gave higher output energy than input as energy
utilized for the framework and also to run excess
equipment’s. Where we can use different input source like
wind, solar, and so on.
